sold in last yearGeneral overview
Volvo Michigan 280C is a dozer built for construction earthmoving and site work. It is powered by a Cummins NTA 855C335 engine rated at 222 kW (302 hp), giving the model the output needed for pushing and shaping material in heavy-duty field conditions. The machine is identified with a U Blade, and the blade capacity is 7.5 m³ (9.8 cu yd), which supports larger soil-moving tasks.
The 280C uses a Clark Power-Shift transmission with Clark high-efficiency, single-stage Clark fully-floating axle shafts with planetary-type hub reductions. The front axle is fixed, and the rear axle oscillates, a layout that supports dozer operation over uneven ground. Its six-cylinder engine configuration and closed, pressurized hydraulic controls with a fully filtered and cooled hydraulic fluid system define its operating class and jobsite role.
